~~The big BFN PEE-OFF!~~

[petitpas]

Hi Ladies,

Well I got my latest hcg this morning and its gone up slightly to 43, was 31 last week. Totally confusing. Going to epau tomo morning to see what they say and prob have some more blood tests.

I poas today and again its a faint positive that appeared after a few minutes.

Petitpas - the doctor said she didnt think there was anymore tissue when I was scanned last thursday. Are you having any more bloods done to make sure you are below 5?

My body is weird.

So sorry, I'm guessing that's not good news at all! Grrrrrrrr we are a weird pair Do let me know how you are doing! I'm hoping that the two of us will have a miraculous week where everything falls into place and then we can start getting back to normal again!

I'm having my bloods done again tomorrow, but won't find out the results until next week and then have an appointment with my specialist on Wednesday. On account of the almost negative test last night I'm going to guess that it'll be around 20, maybe even a teensy bit less? In any case, despite the tissue, I need to be tracked down to negative as I'm on heparin injections and need to take them for six weeks after negative. *note to self: need to tell epau specialist that as keep forgetting*

Here's hoping for an easy explanation tomorrow!

Looks like I'll be here a while longer - my mystery pains got worse and I ended up back at the hospital this morning.

My HCG today is 93 and the hospital reckons it will be another couple of weeks before I'm back to normal. (Internal scan today showed 15mm lining and lots of small clots - initially they said it was an incomplete miscarriage but after the HCG result came back they changed their minds ??)

I don't think I'll bother poas again for a week or so !

Petitpas we are like peas in a pod.

You are not going to believe this. Last week the doctor at EPAU says, your fine and having a period, you have a thick uterine lining but no retained products.

So I go back today due to the small rise in hcg and she says

Fact
1. you are pregnant
2.it is not viable as HCG isnt rising.

She asks me several times have you had sex since miscarriage
I tell her no way I have been bleeding for 9 weeks (apart from a week inbetween)
She wouldnt believe me, im not going to lie about it, I said my husband and I havent even had a snog let alone been intimate.

Anyway she scans me and what should there be a piece of tissue, she says that doesnt look like it did last week. So she took a sample of my uterine lining (that bloody hurt and im still in pain), no apologies for not believing me when I said I had not had sex so couldnt be pregnant again, Unless Im called Mary and married to Joseph lol.

So she is sending the sample off and I have to wait to see what it is and why the rise in hcg. Im so confused, my GP mentioned molar pregnancy but said unlikely as hcg is not over 100. So why the heck has the hcg risen....

I cant believe this is going on so long petitpas, I hope you got on ok today.

 

[Mrmojo1971]

I can't believe she wouldn't take your word for it that you couldn't be pregnant - how insulting !

Hope you get an answer next week.

 

[bluesky]

Thanks Mrmojo, My husband is so annoyed about it he has sent a complaint to our hospital.

Hope your body is better than mine at getting back to normal.

 

[petitpas]

Whhaaaaaaaat?
You two are killing me! First of all, really sorry mrmojo that you had to go back to hospital I guess it's good to get some instant feedback at least. How come they think your hcg precludes remaining tissue? Last week my hcg was 35 and I very definitely DO have a piece of retained tissue. Have they told you to follow up with another blood test next week to keep an eye on things? If not, I'd recommend asking your GP to do bloods and see what the results are. If it's noticeably going down then that's good news, if it's slow I think another hospital/gyno visit is on the cards. Shame it's not a third of the level cos then it'd be just around the poas level

Bluesky,
I can't believe they are throwing the molar word at you. I so hope that the results come back and it's just another (rare) stubborn piece of placenta like mine. Your rise was really small. Do you think being hydrated for one test and dehydrated for the second could be possible and have made a difference? When do you get the results back from the hospital or have a follow-up appointment?
Sending you big fat healing hugs and telling your tissue that it really is time to let go!

 

[petitpas]

PS: When I was in a&e last year one of the doctors asked for my consent to do a pregnancy test. I told him it was impossible I was pregnant but he wouldn't believe me until with a bright red face I explained to him that due to my endometriosis penetration had been absolutely impossible for a good six months and that instead of pestering me for a pregnancy test (which I told him to go ahead and do if he still felt like it) he should be feeling sorry for my husband-to-be! This in the middle of a&e with doctors and nurses and students everywhere. Grrrrrrr

I guess they don't believe us because there are many women out there who go what-me? Pregnant? No-way! Whooops? Really? Ah, well I suppose it's possible *dumb giggle*

 

[bluesky]

Thanks for the hugs I really need them, Yes I reckon the hcg difference is just one of those things and perhaps it could be due to hydration, who knows. I reckon I will prob end up having a D and C. Not sure when I will go back, doc reckons 10 days to get results, well I go away in 2 weeks so not gonna be sorted before my holiday which is a bitch as I thought by then it would all be sorted. God I cant stop whinging about this but its so frustrating...... arrggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[petitpas]

Eeek - where are you going on holiday?

 

[petitpas]

Sorry, yet another question for you bluesky: Can you have another blood test done sometime next week to see whether it is still going up?

 

[Starry Night]

to bluesky, petitpas, and Mrmojo. I'm sorry your bodies are giving you a hard time.

My friend just let me know our dollar store carries hpts! I didn't think they did so I have been spending $20 a pop....which is why I haven't let myself become a POAS addict. I've been getting lots of clear, wet cm this morning so I'm hoping, hoping that my post-mc bleed is coming to an end. I had only one bit of red spotting yesterday. The rest has been brown. Each bleed gets shorter and shorter. With my newfound treasures of cheapie hpts I might test come Monday when I'll be hitting the 2 week mark since I lost Lil Peanut.

 

[petitpas]

Whoopdihoo for dollar store tests!
I reckon you'll have a before the weekend's out

We are going to Derbyshire, taking our dog and going to do lots of walking. Although I could really do with 2 weeks on beach doing nothing. I was hoping that we could start to ttc when we are on holiday but that aint gonna happen! I actually dont feel so desperate about ttc yet as I just want my body back to normal more than anything.

Not sure if they will do another hcg test or not they didnt say. Im such a div I always forget to ask some questions and thats something I should have checked.

 

[bluesky]

Im gonna check the pound shop out for tests now thanks starry night for that idea!

 

[petitpas]

Oh phew! At least you don't have to worry about possible medical emergencies or anything with Derbyshire xxxx
I'm sure you can call the EPAU and schedule another test for next week or just ask your GP.

I keep forgetting to ask whether it's ok to bd now. Might just go ahead and try anyways

 

[Starry Night]

Hi ladies!

Finally bought me some pregnancy tests and will test tomorrow morning. The bleeding has stopped a few days ago and on the weekend I got some ov pains and even some ovulation spotting (it looks different than my post-mc spotting and I always get spotting around ovulation so I recognized it as such). I've been getting loads of clear cm the past few days so I'm hoping the worst is over!

Here's for a bfn in the morning!

 

[bluesky]

Bring on the BFN starry night!!!

 

[Starry Night]

False alarm. After 3 days of no spotting (even went without pads or liners yesterday) I started spotting again this afternoon. It's only brown stuff but I did pass two tiny clots. They also looked brown and dead but tissue is tissue. If it doesn't get any worse I still plan on taking the pregnancy test tomorrow just to see where I'm at.

This is so hard because DH and I started having sex again and even booked a spontaneous romantic getaway this weekend. Hard to be romantic when bleeding puts you on a sex ban and you can't even go in the hotel's swimming pool!

 

[petitpas]

Hi starry, brown is good! It's just left over gunk and should fizzle out quite quickly. Clots are just old blood, too. You have a few days until the weekend for it to stop.

 

[Starry Night]

I hope you're right!

Got a BFN this morning. Woo hoo!
